The Wonder Run benefits the Children's Skin Disease Foundation (CSDF), which has been hosting Camp Wonder for 18 years! Each year, children with chronic and life-threatening skin diseases from around the country take a break from being a patient for a week and focus on just being a kid.
Camp Wonder is a special place free of judgement and stares! They create an environment of acceptance and support to empower the children to be themselves. It provides children with skin disease the chance to be normal; escape questions and bullying; and experience a childhood without limits!
Many families with children affected by skin disease face heavy socioeconomic hardships, making the cost of camp something they could never afford. CSDF recognizes that these families already take responsibility for most of the financial burden for ongoing medical treatment, therefore Camp Wonder is free of charge. All costs are covered, including round-trip transportation. Camp Wonder is able to offer this due to our generous supporters, like you!
The only way that CSDF can continue to provide help to these families and improve the quality of the lives of these children is through fundraising efforts, like Wonder Run!
